THE PirTSBTJRG DISPATCH, SUNDAY, AUGUST 16, 1891
The liot weather of tlie past week drove
away tho last vcstijrc o' glooni from the faocs
of the summer resort bonifaees. The reports
from every quarter indicate tremendous
crowds and jcy unconSncd. rittsburgers
are everyw here, aud the names of tho more
prominent ones will be found in the dis
patches published below:
FILLED TO OVEBFLOWEJQ.
Atlantic City Is Unable to Accommodate
the Hot'j "Within Her Gates.
rBTE-CIAt. TELEGEAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Atlaxtio City, Aug. 15. The status of the
reason at the world's most popular watering
plaoo may De admir
ably conveyed by a
description of the
scene at one of the
hotels during the
early part of tho cur
rent week. ' Tho
house is of average
popularity, and con
tains S3 sleeping
rooms, or comforta
ble accommodations
for about 103 guests.
Last Monday night
190 guests were
packea together to
pass thenightasbest
they could under the
circumstances. In the parlor there were
half a do?cn cots, and tho smoking room
contained as many more. Mattresses, hire d
specially for the occasion, were stretched on
billiard tables, each of which were occupied
by two guests. At the ends of the sloeplng
halls curtains wero hung, and in the spaces
thus made several eots were placed. In one
room eight girls passed the night. How they
managed is a mystery, but not a more puz
zling one than how tho occupants of an
other room on the same floor succeeded in
keeping ahe until inornur. In this par
ticular apartment there wcrj two double
beds, each holding three men. Two cots
wero occupied by as many guests, and on
the floor three more spent thp night, making
a total of 11 in one room That night four
gentlemen from Pittsburg arrived on
the late train. They had telegraphed
lor rooms, but had left before tho
rorily stating that none were to be procured
had reached them. Not yet fully 'alive to
the crowded condition of tho island they
were not much anno ed by their inability
to find shelter in the desired hotel, and
sought another house. Hero they were met
by the same disagnniablc fate, and it was
sometime after midnight before they suc
ceeded in finding a place to stretch their
wcarv limbs. Nover before in the history
of Atlantic Citv was the crowd of visitors so
tremendous. The 11 rut onslaught of tho hot
wave drove the tired and dusty city dwel
lers doT n to the bca in imment-e droves that
swamj ed the helpless hotel proprietors, who
fairly stood aghast at e volume or guests
Shat poured in through their bospltible
doors, and which poured out again seeking
another ho tse that had not been already
filled by the great influx.
TIEED Or TOSIXO AS HEROES.
Tho ingratitude of the local authorities
end thr public in general toward the volun
teer life guards is inexplicable. Tosterday
Jack Williams, Ed Bradford aud Jack
Dougheity, three of the best guards, tired of
ingratitude, poor pay and poorer prospects,
walked off tho beach. They declare that
unless some guarantee is given that they
cau earn afairlivelihood they will no longer
servo. When their determination was made
known the bathhouse keepers agreed to
make up a certain sum of money lor them,
but they gave tho decision that there must
be some fixed aud l:ir compensation for
their services. Dougherty is new on the
beach thi season but his companions are
well and favorably known to the majority
of Fittvuurg visitors.
Tho largo pond at the foot of Maryland
a ciue formed by the large sand bar that
sprang up during the winter has become a
popular bathing ground. It is particularly
frequented by ladies who do not care to
bullet with the roagh ocean breakers, and
during the bathing ht-ur, the big pond is one
of the interesting scenes of the beach. At
high tide, lion ever, the pond is a dangerous
menace to bathers, who are unable to swim,
and visitors should be cautioned againt
being deceived by the still water which runs
deep. The other day, Edward Lippin
cott, tho 10-year-old brother of one of
the proprietors of Haddon Hall dived
from the pier into two leet of water. He
struck on his head sid was picked up almost
unconscious and suffering acute agony. His
neck was broken, but he still lives, and even
should not his injuries prove fatal ho will be
a helpless cripple for life.
THE riSllOfG IS GOOD.
Fishing has been exciting sport during the
week. The weaklish have been running in
great schools, drawing in nearer the shore
everyday. The other afternoon the people
who were in bathing witnessed a novel sight.
Among the natural enemies of the weaklish
the porgie ranks next in destructiveness to
tho shark. A school of porgies will rip
throuch mass of wcakflsh, tearing them to
pieces in less time than it would take a buzz
saw to perform the same operation. On the
afternoon in question thousands of weakflsh
came tumbling in with the surfjuuiplng and
leaping; their white sides showing above the
breakers like silver crests. Tho porgies
were chasing thrm in. Hundreds ot people
gathered at the water's edge to witness the
unusual sigl. .. Men aud boys plunged about
In tho waves with their trousers rolled up
and clubs and dip tics in their hands killing
fish and dragging them into shore. Others
rushed in v. 1th baskets, and quite a big lot of
wcaiviisu nave Dcen securea. rue same
thing has occurred hero often before but
nevci so early in tho season. This whole
sale fishing was very unsportsmanlike, but
thero was plenty of legitimate angling dur
ing tho week. The presence of the big
schools running near shore was soon de
tected by tho fishermen and every day a
KPCt of yachts hoveled Just boyond tbe
- bathing grounds, sailing in so close that It
would have given a fa r swimmer no trouble
to have reached them. Tho boats drifted
with tbe FChools and wreaked great
liavoe among tho finny beauties. Four
liundrea pounds of fish wero taken in one
boat in a single morning.

SIGHTSEEING IK QUEBEC.
"What the Correspondent of a Pittsburg
Party of Tourists Has to Say.
coKBXsrosrarcrcx or tbz dispatch, j
Quebec, Aug. 13. i
Leaving Montreal in
the evening by the
steamer Canada, wo
enjoyed the fine sun.
set on th e great river,
which grows in maj
esty with each day's;
progress. In the
morning we are all
on deck to watch the
approach to Quebeo
and see from the
steamer the spot
where Montgomery
fell in 1776. Awoodon
signboard marks the
spot. Looking at the
'precipice one wonders if any sane man ever
expected to scale it with an enemy above.
It was 8 o'clock when we left the steamer,
and running the gauntlet of the howling
fcackmen, took the omnibus and drove up
the steep, crooked, narrow, funny streets
through the St. John Gate to tho Florence
Hotel. Captain Trudel, a Canadian French
man, gave us a cordial reception, and wo
were soon dolngjnstlce to the breakfast for
which wo had been yearning. Engaging
Louis Lippe as guide and coachman, we accepted-Captain
Tradel's kind invitation to
Join hi! family party to drive to Lorette, an
Indian vlllago 11 miles distant. Tho only
few old women and some dirty children,
whose lower limbs called forth the remark
that they would never stop a pig in an alley.
The other inhabitants had gone somewhere
to sell their woik, so we drove on to the St.
Charles reservoir, from which Quebec re
ceives her wator supply, and ate our bounti
ful lunoh under the trees. The genial host
soon seemed like an old friend and a Jolly
one. The day was perfect, the air exhilarat
ing ana tne roaa supero, anu we wonaerou,
why these Canadians, who seem so far be
hind in the march of progress, should so far
EXCEL trs JS coxrarTBY ROADS,
for we had been impressed with the same
thing in Toronto and Montreal. But what
are tho Canadian farmers about? Are they
furnishing wild flowers for Western wed
dings! We looked with amazement on field
after field we might say mllo after mile of
nothing but buttercups and daisies. And
such daisies wo had ncvorseenl The mead
ows seemed covered with a fall of snow in
July.
Back to the city by a different road, we
had made a grand circuit and had. a drive
which we commend to all visitors at Quebec,
as well as oar host and coachman. The
next morning we drove to the Citadel and
were put in charge of a young artilleryman
at the gate, who probably told us all he
know, but it wasn't much. Wo enjoyed the
flue view, saw soldiers drilling, sentries
marching nnd the big cannon that nro getting
a rest from their former daily duty of salut
ing, because their thnnderous voices split
the mighty rock on which the Citadel rests
and Eent, one day, many tons of it down the
precipice, crushing the houses below to
atoms.
The very handsome Parliament buildings
aro too modern to interest one much. In
the afternoon wo drove to the Fall of Mont
morency, enjoying it, of course, for who
could do otherwise with such roads, to siy
nothing of the fall itself? What a pity tl-at
its beauty should bo marred by the sawmill
above it. The fall showed to good advan
tage from tho steamer as wo saw it the next
morning on our way to the Saquenay. The
St. Lawrence is so beautiful 'and majestio
that we were not conscious of missing any
thing in making the ascent of the Saquenay
by night.as it was 9 o'clock when wo reached
xuaonsac at its moutu. i ncn we wak
ened in the morning wo wore anchored in
Ha Ha Bay, whose name, so suggestivo of
happiness, was given by some stonn-driven
boatmen, in their delight at finding a good
harbor. It is indeed a beautiful ha von.
TO THE HEAD OP NAVIGATION.
As soon as the tide permits, however, we
leave it for Chicoutimi, the head of naviga
tion, where we all go on slioro for a stroll,
the chief point of Interest being the cathe
dral, notfar away. It is being remodeled In
white and gilt, and it is another of those sur
piises a large, handsome church in a
sparsely settled neighborhood. Comlngdown
the river, wo hold ourselves In readiness for
all those delightful surprises promised in the
guide books, but, alas! the rains descended
and tbe winds blew in the most dismal
Fourth of July style. By our request the
Captain had run up a United States flag in
the morning, and we had sung tho"Star
Spangled Banner" and everything else patri
ocio that wo could think of, but the rain,
which at times obscured the shores, was a
dampener.
But there is always some cause for thank
fulness, and we had.it in the cessation of
rain as wo neared thoe awe-inspiring pro
montories, Capes Eternity and Trinity, 1,900
and 1,800 feet respectively. A great white
figure of the Virgin stands like a guardian
spirit on Cape Trinity, and the cross holds
out Its arms of meroy from this eminence, as
from nearly every other one we havo seen in
Canada. We reach Quebeo again, in time for
breakfast, and tfcid our faithful guide, Louis
Lippe, waiting to take us to the Florence
wnere we receive a coram "welcome noine.'
IS THE FEENCH CATHEDRAL.
Hearing that Cardinal I forgoWiis name
w as to preach in the French Cathedral, we
took care to be in time to see him, but we
only saw his attendant, who had a seat of
honor near the Cardinal's throne. Within
a railing near, sat the city fathers of Quebec.
Sow don't ask me what kind of city fathers,
whether oouncilmen, jurymen,sohool direct
ors or politicians, for I should havo to an
swer, "I'll never tell you." In this church,
as in another in Quebec, there is a harrow
ing representation of Christ in the tomb.
The figure, apparently of wax, is of life size
and nearly nuked, the bloody wounds and
fhastly faco making a distressing spectacle,
n an antcioom of the church, w c saw some
very richly embroidered vestments and one
ancient and very valuable, one that had
been presented by Louis Quatorze. Return
ing on foot, as the street cars do not run
until the afternoon, another evidence of the
observance of the 'Sabbath, we are almost
depressed by the shut up appearance of
everything. Even on week-days, the people
do not throw back their Venetian shutters,
and as the front doors open- outward, and
the doorsteps are within, the outside of the
house is like an unbroken wall. Speaking
of street cars reminds us of the funny way
in which the conductors collect car fare
here, as in o'her Canadian cities. He tho
conductor can ies a contrivance that looks
like a flattened coffee-pot, minus a spout,
which he holds by the handle as be passes
around, taking up his collectlon,whlch each
passenger drops mthe funnel-shaped hole at
the top.
ASERMOirrs ESCfLISH.
In the evening we went to tho Presby
terian Cliuroh of St. Andrews, hearing an
excellent gospel sermon in plain English,
for which we had become hungry. Here, as
in every other place in Canada, wo were
recognized as Americans, and received a
correspondingly cordial welcome, followed
by kind attentions during tho rest of our
stay in the oity.
We visited the TJrsuline Convent and
church the next day. Tho latter is specially
Interesting as the last resting place of Gen
eral Montcalm. On the wall is a monumental
tablet bearing the following inscription:
HoNXEint
s A
MOXTCALM.
Le destin en lui derobant,
Lo Victoire
L' a recompense par
Une more glorieusel
!
It seems tons horrible sacrilege that his
skull should bo kept for exhibition in a glass
case, and wo feel thankful for tho law of
compensation that encourages us to Iiodo
that' although fame may not enroll our
names among those of hergenernls or saints,
our bones may be allowed to hide their
ugliness from the nnadmlring eye of the
summer tourist.
The Gory Nunnery was made very attrac
tive to us by the courtesy of Sister Camllle,
whoso sweet faco was a striking contrast to
so many of the old women in the infirmary.
Every part was scrupulously clean, but the
old men's department was disagreeable as
usual with tobacco. The nuns' cemetery
was close nnder the windows of what seemed
their living room, so that the painted wooden
touibstones are a constant reminder or the
end of all things mortal, and I suppose an
efficient check to all frivolous thoughts. A
tall wooden oross in the center marks the
grave of a priest, tho only man buried thero,
no sister being allowed so prominent a
monument. It is very pleasant talking with
Sister' Camllle, who had quite won our
hearts, but after inspecting the chapel while
she kneels devoutly before the altar we take
leave of her. As Louis has learned that we
do not appreciate modern attractions in
Quebec, he drove through Sous-le-fort, one
of the very narrow, crooked old streots,
whore two vehicles could not pass, and
where the children, sitting In the doorways,
had to draw in their feet for fear of being

liilili
angry, and we supposed it was because of
our "great and glorious" nationality. Over
head were stretched sundry washings (for
sun-dry reasons) aud high aoovo reared tho
wall of the citadel with a cannon visible
here and there.
Everybody visits Lallbcrte's fnr store, said
to be the finest of tho kind in America, and
the proprietor nnd employes are so attentive
and obliging that you cannot got away with
out buying some or their tempting wares, ir
you have either money or credit. This
closes our sight seeing in Quebec, which we
prepare toleave with many regrets.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION.
sAn Exhibition at Chautauqua In 'Which
Women Capture the Diplomas.
EPECIAI, TELEOHAM TO TUB DISrATCII.
Chautauqua, Ang. 15. The rain poured
In torrents yesterday and Chautauquans
had a touch of cold and oheerless weather.
Tlio school of physical education olosed its
sesslons.thls afternoon with a big gymnastic
exhibition in tho Amphitheater. Nearly a
thousand students have been taking the
work, the majority of them women; so that
the girls carried the larger part of tbe
diplomas to-day. The exhibition was ex
ceedingly Interesting, and marks an era In
the physical education of young women.
The principal lectures delivered were
those ' of the Hon. George Makepeace
Towle, of Boston, on "Ireland's Struggle,"
and Pror. Edward Bemls, of Vanderbllt Uni
versltv, on "The Ethical Side of tho Social
Question." Mrs. Ewlng's cooking school
continues to attract a great deal of atten
tion, and not a few flno cooks are being
turned out every week. The Chautauqua
young Indies are becoming quite proficient
In paddling bread and batter as well as their
canoes, and manv of them can now bake a
cake that is highly digestable, and not all
dough.
Miss svnnle rark, the very clevor cornetlst
of Boston, closed her engagement yesterday.
She has been hero for the past fortnight, and
herperfeot command of the cornet and the
beautiful music she can bring out of it won

It is to all patients, old as well as new, and

JSACH DAT BROUGHT TROUBLE.
An Oakland Citizen Who Suffered for Tear
and Finally Sought and Found Belief.
"The way I suffered for Years with scarce
ly any relief was terrible. Each day brought
'its additional pain." The speaker was Mr.
John Davis, who lives on Wakefield street,
Oakland, Pittsburg. Continuing, he said:
"I suffered severely with headache and ex
treme dizziness. At times there was a
heavy feeling in my head that oppressed me.
This condition mado me very melancholy.,
"ily nose would stop up and there was "a
constant dropping oi the mucus inmy-throat.
"My nostrils became very sore; crusts
would collect in the nasal passage, and any
attempt to dislodge them would cause my
nose to bleed. The worst feature ofallVas
the offensive odor that resulted from my
head troubles. I had a bad taste in the
mouth and scarcely any appetite. I ex
perienced a full or heavy "feeling in the
stomach, and this could not be eased until
after I had 'belched up gas.
"X had severe pains in the chest upon
coughing, Felt very tired in the morning
and my rest seemed to do me no good. I
MIOHI HAVE CONSTriIPTIOS.
"After consulting with Drs. Copeland and
Hall and taking treatment, in this short
time my symptoms have all disappeared. I
have nothing but words of praise for their
methods and for the gentlemanly and polite
way in which I was always received at fchelr
offices."
THE FAKIR FIGHT.
Drs. Copeland nnd Hall Give Them Some
Hot Shot The Weapons to Be Used
Named, and the War of Ex
termination of the Medical
Charlatan Opened.
The article of Drs. Copeland and Hall
last week, upon the necessity of finding
some way of protecting the citizens of Pitts
burg and Allegheny from the imposture and
extortion of the medical fakirs, charlatans
and mountebank? who prey unmolested
upon the people under cover of some cheap
salaried doctor's name, has attracted con
siderable attention, and they have had many
personal calls and letters urging them on in
their exposure of the nefarious plan of
operations used by this class.
As has been said, the laws of Pennsyl
vania on this subject were framed for the
protection of the people, inasmuch as they
prohibit anyone from the practice of medi
cine who has not presented authenticated
papers and credentials, proving ability and
proper training, to the State authorities and
been regularly registered by them. This is
a good and wholesome law, but
MARK HO-W THE FAKIR EVADES IT.
He hires, tor a small sum, the use of the
name of some poor practioner who has com
plied with these requirements, advertises
boldly under tlm name, and when the suf
fering people are decoyed into his den he
boldly robs them nnder this purchased alias.
The people ask, is there no remedy for
this? There is. It is extremely difficult
for our guardians of the law to reach these
adventurers, under these circumstances, as
they are met at the threshold of their in
quiries by the registry certificate of the "de
coy duck" physician, which virtually bars
further investigation. Bat Doctors Cope
land and Hall are determined, m the inter
est of humanity and the protection of their
own business, to enter on a crusade against
these human sharks, and they will use in
this warfare the two greatest powers of
civilization, the Voice of the Press and
Public Opinion. They propose exposing
this fakir business in all
ITS DEPKAVED JTAKEDNESS
Until they make it unprofitable and impos
sible for these blood-sucking vampires to
longer exist in these two cities by preying
upon the sufiering of the people. ,The day
ot the fakir has passed and the day of the
intelligent, scientific physician, who can
benefit humanity, and who deems it a duty
to let the fact be known to all who may be
so benefited, has come.
Drs. Copeland and Hall know, as does
every other honest practitioner hi this city,
that the people are each day robbed of large
sums of money by unprincipled adventur
ers who'possess not a single qualification
as physicians or surgeons and they have
entered upon this war of extermination and
"will" fight it out on this line if it takes all
summer and all the autumn."
